New year has just commenced, but do you realize the Chinese New Year is coming our way very soon? It is only a month away! And here comes the hardest time to decide where to have our reunion dinner because most restaurants will be closed during the festive season. I could hardly find any food out there last year! :(

Fret not, this year something awesome will be cooked at Pin Xiang Chinese Restaurant (品香大饭店), Aman Suria. Located near to Paradigm Mall, my dinner at this eatery few months back was satisfying,
hence now I'm back for more!

Let's begin the Year of Snake on a prosperous note with Alan Yun, the Malaysian actor cum artist.

The treasure pot, or more commonly known as 盆菜 among Chinese, is a symbolic dish for celebrations. Made from 18 types of ingredients (sometimes even more!), it symbolizes prosperity, wealth, happiness, health, and joy for the year. So how can I not usher the auspicious year with such special dish!

Out of the 18 ingredients, the chef has used many premium quality seafood imported from oceans
around the world. Some noteworthy ones include:

Tailor-made to symbolize prosperity and opulence, it also caters for those who wish to have annual ritual of reunion dinners at home. All take-away Treasure Pot comes in a complimentary stainless steel pot, suitable for reheating. I can assure you that family members from near and far can gather to enjoy a wonderful dinner without having to slave over the stove for hours to prepare six to eight festive dishes.

Treasure pot is indeed a luxurious dish on its own, but rest assured, Pin Xiang offers a more economic one,
stuffed with same amount of goodness from 16 different types of ingredients.

For the health conscious, here's a good news for you because you can enjoy

equally delicious dish made of the same 18 ingredients but with a much lower cholesterol level.

Healthy Vegetarian Treasure Pot (素吃养生健康盆菜)

(M) RM168++ (6-8 pax)

#2 First Class Charcoal Roasted Chicken (品香炭烧一品鸡)

Half @ RM30 / Whole @ RM60

Chef and his team have whipped up some signature dishes for your festive gatherings. Half-filled with loads of seafood treasure, my stomach still growls hungrily when the signature poultry dish is served upon us.

Using the traditional charcoal roasting method, it manages to bring out a crispy, thin layer of skin with burnt deliciousness at the edges, while the flesh remains soft and succulent. The sweetness of longans are nice additions to the savory dish.

#3 Stir Fried Spinach (清炒芫菜)

#4 Stir Fried Choy Sum with Bittergourd (苦瓜菜心)

(M) RM12 / (L) RM20

Washing down the calories are some home-style vegetables, bursting with myriads of flavours despite of the use of simple ingredients. Veges are not always green and uninteresting, here at Pin Xiang you can try something totally unique and one of its kind!

#5 Fried Meehoon with Fresh Crabs (品香蟹炒米) @ Seasonal Price

Whenever you pass by Pin Xiang, don't forget to drop by for its signature fried meehoon with
chunks of meaty crabs. The seafood goodness is well-absorbed into the noodles,
creating a fresh and juicy combination. Superb!
